Letters of St Antony of Egypt to his disciples on essentials of the spiritual life, as relevant for us today as they were in the 3rd and 4th centuries.

These seven letters, translated by Derwas Chitty were addressed by St Antony (251-356 AD) to his disciples. This hermit of the Egyptian desert draws our attention to those things which are essential in the spiritual life. Among the main themes are the witness of the Holy Spirit in the conscience of each person, the need for self-knowledge, the call to follow Christ, the unity of the Church, and our mutual co-inherence as members of the Body of Christ.
